A few hours ago, Twitter laid off its entire Accessibility Experience team. This is sad not only because so many lost their jobs, but because so many more around the world may lose their voice. nitter.gq/gerardkcohen/status/15…

You wouldn't plant a seed and then dig it up every few minutes to see if it has grown. So why do you keep questioning yourself, your hard work and your decisions? Have patience, stop overthinking and keep watering your seeds.

I'm going to keep reminding people that "Rutgers" gets mistaken for rockers, ruckers, ruckus, workers, rappers, wrappers, and Rockies (and so much more) until people stop asking if they can just get away with automated captions. #a11y

In case anyone was wondering, LIVID is the mood this morning.
11th Circuit rules that websites are not places of public accommodation under Title III of the ADA, vacating a 2017 federal court ruling that @WinnDixie’s website violated the ADA by being inaccessible to screen reading software. Story coming soon! @CourthouseNews

i think the most painful thing i’ve ever been told is that because i’m a woman i shouldn’t go out into public speaking. that my voice isn’t needed/is haram(?). being a poc woman w a physical disability is all the more reason for me to speak up.. it’s always men saying this too

I’m disabled.
I don’t have special needs.
I have human needs.
Human needs are not special needs.

Instead of demonizing those disabled people who bring lawsuits challenging inaccessibility, how about faulting those who defiantly refuse to provide access to disabled people?

I am not your model minority.
Here's a picture of my mother and grandma holding me, their brown baby. They love me and I love them. These are the faces I see when a coward in Atlanta killed Asian women. These are the faces I see when a coward attacked an elderly Asian women SF.

I think one of the most important things for a lot of people when looking for a job is knowing that they will fit in, that there is a culture there that will accept them. This is particularly important for disabled people, are already at an employment disadvantage.

Q2 @katenashOBE & @purplespace have started working on research and data to understand how being part of an #ERG can help employers with talent spotting, help with culture change and build inner confidence? Why is this data so critical to our advancement forward? #AXSChat

Experience from humans beats conformance claims from vendors all day every day.

They claim to provide quick & easy automated #accessibility solutions, but while visiting their website I encountered barrier after barrier. As a #blind person experienced with #a11y I know not to trust this company. Now I'm sharing my experience with their work: avoid #AccessiBe

personal POV: community products *must* be co-designed with the communities themselves. in a product as public and diversely-used as twitter, it is impossible for a small product team to adequately serve its customers without listening and collaborating at every step of the way.

Looking to connect with folks at HBCU’s working in the XR space. Augmented Reality/Virtual Reality/Mixed Reality. Any recommendations?

If you're a #accessibility expert looking for work, please contact me. Excellent assistive technology skills, #WCAG knowledge, and deep familiarity with #ARIA are a must. This is both web and mobile. Looking to add the right folks, but have some pretty high standards. #a11y
